Dear people, I have got a question concerning the underlying numerical codes when reading an SPSS file into R. I used the package foreign and when I look at a variable I get the verbal codes. I would like to know how it is possible to get the underlying numerical codes as output, which are the same as in my SPSS file. Thank you very much in advance for your help!

dear r-helpers, i created an object named A, which looks like this: A <- c("4.4","1.9","4.1") now i needed to get numbers instead of characters and for this i used the function: as.integer(A) which resulted in: [1] 4 1 4 My question is, why the numbers are rounded or more impotantly if there is a way to keep the decimal numbers? Thank you very much for

Hi, I have loaded the packages car, memisc, Hmisc and all of these implement the function recode. The order in which the packages are loaded depends on the order I execute my scripts and thus is not always the same and the syntax of the recode function changes with the package. Is there any way to call specificly the memisc recode function? Or maybe it's better to detach all packages first

I want to do some recoding of variables: code Age into groups and recode a factor into a smaller number of levels. There are a couple of options for recode functions, in the car package and in memisc, and I think in gmisc. Does anyone have any opinions on the the easiest, most reliable approach for these problems? David Scott _________________________________________________________________

Dear all I am trying to use the ODB package to connect to an libreoffice-odb database. The libreoffice package is german, thus, decimal separator is a comma. However, I can open the database and upload a it without error, library(ODB) db <- odb.open("Test.odb") but a soon as the "odb.open" command is executed, the decimal separator in R is changed to comma.
